🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs an early mythology of Japanese fantasy, relying on folkloric motifs of the shapeshifting ninja. It explores the limits of the possible through the primitive yet expressive special-effect magic of silent cinema.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of witnessing the raw, embryonic form of superhero storytelling, where wonders spring from shadows and the simplest cinematic tricks. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Shōzō Makino

Watch in dim light as a curious folktale-print come to life.
